AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This approach prevents instability and inactivation of the polymerization initiator, improves the conversion rate, and ensures the production of SSBR with stable and consistent quality, while reducing the reaction time and economic costs associated with batch-wise processes.

Problems solved by technology

However, HMI-Li has a low solubility in a solvent to fall into precipitation over time and also has a problem that the reactivity is lower than that of BuLi, although it can be used as an initiator.

However, the modification initiator thus prepared is unstable over time and falls into precipitation, or is inactivated by bonding a very small amount of oxygen with water.

Therefore, the existing process of preparing the above polymerization initiator in a batch-wise manner and then introducing it into the polymerization reaction necessarily requires a storage step of the modification initiator, thereby bringing about the aforementioned disadvantages.

This may adversely affect the post-processes to be a factor for lowering physical properties of the finally synthesized SSBR, which makes it difficult to maintain a constant quality.

In the case of the former, the storage step of the modification initiator is necessarily required, and during the period of storing the already synthesized initiator its anions are reacted with various scavengers such as moisture and air and thus the initiator loses its activity.

This may adversely affect the post-processes to be a factor for lowering the physical properties of the finally synthesized SSBR, which makes it difficult to maintain a constant quality.

However, it is difficult to confirm whether the modification initiator is properly synthesized, and the physical properties are also deteriorated more than the case of adding the synthesized initiator.

In addition, in all the conventional batch-wise processes, by-products are produced while raw materials are directly introduced, mixed and reacted, or reverse reactions occur to generate unreacted products, and as a result, there is also a problem that a polymerization yield is lowered.
